Tupac's Foundation Producing HD Concert Series

The charitable foundation behind Tupac's name is teaming up with a media company to broadcast a concert series into various venues around the country.

He may have been gone for awhile, but Tupac Shakur is still
firmly embedded within pop culture and specifically hip hop, as evidenced by
the ‘Pac hologram at Coachella this past year.
Now Tupac’s charitable organization, The Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation
is teaming up with Velocity World Media to broadcast concerts celebrating
Shakur’s influence on art and culture at several clubs, restaurants and
theaters across the U.S.

Tupac’s Foundation will help provide the top artists to perform
in Velocity’s “First Spin” event series, which will feature some of the nation’s
top artists being broadcasted in HD, and in cutting edge venues around the
country.

In a statement, Vernal Cambridge, the executive director of
TASF said these concerts will honor Tupac while showcasing rising talent, “We like to honor his style by defying convention
in our own way. That’s why we’re
offering fans a way to support the foundation’s charitable work and celebrate
Tupac’s memory through an up-close-and-personal experience with some of today’s
brightest artists.”

The Tupac Amaru Shakur
Foundation, which is located in Georgia, will receive charitable funds raised
from the programming. President and CEO
of Velocity World Media, Philip Elias says the funds will serve as a resource
for to support children creatively, “We’re honored to provide a powerful media
platform for the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation to celebrate Tupac’s impact on
music while raising money to support creative arts and early education programs
that serve as a true resource for children and families.”
